The Rule Of The Road

The rule of the road in the United States is turn to the right; in
England it is the reverse. The rule holds in this country in the case
where two vehicles going in opposite directions meet. When one vehicle
overtakes another the foremost gives way to the left and the other
passes by on the off side; and when a vehicle is crossing the
direction of another it keeps to the left and crosses in its rear. These
two rules are the same in this country as in England, and why the rule
concerning meeting vehicles should have been changed it is impossible to
say.
